1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Synchronous calcium oscillations are observed in primary cultures of rat cortical neurons when mature networks are formed. This spontaneous neuronal activity needs an accurate control of calcium homeostasis. Alteration of intraneuronal calcium concentration is described in many neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer disease (AD). Although processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) that generates Abeta peptide has critical implications for AD pathogenesis, the neuronal function of APP remains unclear. Here, we report that expression of human APP (hAPP) in rat cortical neurons increases L-type calcium currents, which stimulate SK channels, calcium-dependent K(+) channels responsible for medium afterhyperpolarization (mAHP). In a neuronal network, increased mAHP in some neurons expressing hAPP leads to inhibition of calcium oscillations in all the cells of the network. This inhibition is independent of production and secretion of Abeta and other APP metabolites. In a neuronal network, reduction of endogenous APP expression using shRNA increases the frequency and reduces the amplitude of calcium oscillations. Altogether, these data support a key role for APP in the control of neuronal excitability.
